Geezer Butler invites fan input on name for his autobiography
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 8 April 2022
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has finished the first draft of an autobiography, though he can’t quite decide what to call it. There are currently five options and, on Twitter earlier this week, he invited fans to let him know which of those five they prefer.
Talking about the autobiography in an interview with Cleveland.com last year, Butler said: “I started out because, when my parents died, I always wished I’d asked them a lot more things… I don’t really know much about my mum and dad, because they were always just there. So, I started writing a memoir for my grandkids to read, and that’s been fun going through stuff – old times and growing up in Birmingham and all that. I’m right in the middle of doing that at the moment”.
On Twitter earlier this week he posted: “Just turned in the first draft of my book so I’m now thinking of titles. So far, I have: ‘Into the Void’, ‘Basses Loaded’, ‘Past Forward’, ‘What The Butler Did’, ‘Bassic Instinct’. Feel free to send me which of those you think would suit my #autobiography”.
